In the Tutorial Treasury, you will find tutorials geared towards Photomanipulators and some that will deal with a broader subjects, such as lighting, colour etc. The tutorials will be from dA as well as from all over the web and in each episode, there will be 3 to 6 tutorials for your reading pleasure (any more than that I guess no one will have time to read anyway). If you find any good ones, shoot me a note so I can include them in the next installment!

The Tutorials

Create realistic rose text using some simple layer styles and custom made brushes. This Photoshop rose text will not be completly made from scratch, we'll have to use a beautiful Rose PNG stock image. A nature inspired text effect can be used in so many creative ways, to decorate your scrapbook for example.

Of Copyright & Premadesis an article that strives to explain what copyright means, who it protects and that simply putting work into something will not make using something without permission okay.

Know your Basics - article series:

A series of articles that try to explain some basics in art that you may or may not have heard of before but didn't know what to do with them. All of them are written especially for photo- manipulators, but the principles should hold true in any genre.

Beautiful compilation, thank you! I've been using Photoshop for years now, but I'm still learning because it's bloody impossible to know every trick and technique ever, so feel free to point all the nay-sayers who say this stuff is too basic to my comment

oh so everyone comes to dA after they've reached a certain level? Well that would be news to me. (You do realize that that makes you sound quite arrogant, don't you?)

If you already know about those techniques, maybe check out the older installments of the series. I try to mix things up. Or maybe actually read the tutorials (not just the abstracts), often they include some tips and tricks that are not obvious at first glance.
